Flame detector is a sensor that detects and responds to presence of flame or fire. The responses exhibited by these devices vary depending upon the location of installed device, deactivation of fuel line, activation of fire suppression system, or sounding alarm. It is used in industrial applications to confirm if a furnace is fully lit. It is more efficient than smoke or heat detectors, owing to the mechanism used in detection of flame or fire. It used in variety of applications such as hydrogen stations, industrial heating & drying systems, gas-fueled cookers, domestic heating systems, and industrial gas turbines.
